About the Book

The new edition of the highly influential Tallinn Manual, which outlines public international law as it applies to cyber operations.

Book Synopsis

Tallinn Manual 2.0 expands on the highly influential first edition by extending its coverage of the international law governing cyber operations to peacetime legal regimes. The product of a three-year follow-on project by a new group of twenty renowned international law experts, it addresses such topics as sovereignty, state responsibility, human rights, and the law of air, space, and the sea. Tallinn Manual 2.0 identifies 154 'black letter' rules governing cyber operations and provides extensive commentary on each rule. Although Tallinn Manual 2.0 represents the views of the experts in their personal capacity, the project benefitted from the unofficial input of many states and over fifty peer reviewers.

Review Quotes

'Appropriately named Tallinn Manual 2.0: International Law Applicable to Cyber Operations, the new book offers a fascinating look at how far the cyber threat landscape has evolved in the less than half decade since the first version's release in 2013, shifting the focus from conventional state-authorized and operated cyber warfare to the small-bore deniable cyber activities that form the majority of day-to-day cyber attacks today.'
